MARKING-TAG AND CHECK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 747,594, dated December 22, 1903.

Application filed April 27 1903. Serial No. 164,439. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIMON DANCYGER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Marking-Tags and Checks;

' and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the inventi0n,which will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in markingtags and checks, the features of which will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of my invention is the construction of a marking-tag with an attached check, having duplicate markings to indicate sales by number or by the name of the salesman, or by both means. The tag thus formed in duplicate is marked to suit the peculiar line of retail trade to which it may be adapted. The construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which' Figure 1 isa plan of the tag with the part for folding extended. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section shown as folded for use.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts in the two views.

The paper A is of firm material and comprises three integral partsvviz., 1, 2, and 3. Part 1 is folded down on part 2, and the two parts are firmly united by the wire staple 5.

' The perforation is made through these parts,

and an eyele may be secured in this perforation. A string is passed through this perforation, the use being to attach the tag to an article of merchandise. At the transverse dotted line 6 the paper is creased for folding, and the part 3 is folded down on part 2 and is passed beneath the free end of part 1 near to the clenched or fastened portion, and thus the check end is held. The important feature of this arrangement is that the check end being passed beneath the top flap the end is thereby securely held for all practical purposes. Any form of clasp or eyelet may be used to bind the top fold.

The check is a duplicate of the tag, and when a sale is made the former is detached and delivered to the cashier as a memorandum of the transaction.

Having fully described myinvention, what I claim is A marking-tag comprising three parts, the upper part bent down on the body portion and secured by staple, the under part adapted to be folded down on said body portion and the end thereof adapted to be held beneath the free end of the upper fold, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SIMON DANCYGER.
